Move to Pa5X from PA-600 - does this really make sense?

[Jack01]

Hello everybody,

I've been using PA-600 with Dopamine for some years and I think I am still pretty happy with it. However recently I think seriously about buying the PA5X. But the main question is: will I really notice a big difference, especially in the quality of sounds and in the comfort of use? This question is important because PA5X is not a cheap equipment...

Q: will I really notice a big difference, especially in the quality of sounds?

Yes you will, providing you are running the source through a reasonably good sound system...

Q: does this really make sense?

Only you can answer that.

Nope it makes NO SENSE to spend that kind of money on an incomplete product .

Like my PA3x and 1000. Purchased the PA5x and enjoy the new features and it sounds great. As for gigging, I still use the PA3x. Think the PA5x is great improvement, but is the audience going to know the difference?
If you have a groove going on pa600 then stick with it. If you decide to purchase a 5x, spend time on it before gigging with it.

The Pa5x is rock solid from my point of view and sounds great. Its a fantastic upgrade even from the Pa4x, let along a PA-600. The keyboard is so deep in features it is very complex if you make it so. However, if you keep it simple and just play and perform, it will serve you well.

Sorry to say but this is a completely silly question in any aspect !
Can you ever compare a poor and childish keybed outdated arranger with Pa5X flagship of 83 times bigger Ram
and 30 times bigger stereo factory library where dopamine plus factory Pa600 Library seem completely crap ?
Common sense dictates you the obvious ... else visit a Music store and try one Pa5X !
